Storing Cartridges

■

When storing a cartridge:

•

Do not take a cartridge out of its protective wrapping until you are ready to 
use it. Use the tear string, not a sharp instrument, to remove the wrapping. 

•

Store cartridges in a clean environment that duplicates the conditions of the 
room in which they are used. 

•

Before using a cartridge, make sure that it has been in its operating 
environment for at least 24 hours.

■

CAUTION:
Possible equipment damage: The following solvents can damage the 
cartridge. Do not use them to remove labels or to clean cartridges: 
acetone, trichloroethane, toluene, xylene, benzene, ketone, methylethyl 
ketone, methylene chloride, ethyldichloride, esters, ethyl acetate, or 
similar chemicals. 

Wipe all dust, dirt, and moisture from the cartridge with a lint-free cloth. 

Use StorageTek Tape Cleaner Wipes, PN 4046289-01, to clean the cartridges. 
These wipes are saturated with isopropyl alcohol. Do not let any solution touch 
the tape or get inside the cartridge. 

■

Cleaning cartridges have a VOLSER prefix of DG CLN or CLNxxx. These 
cartridges cannot be used as scratch cartridges or initialized by software utilities. 

When a transport needs to be cleaned, the 9740 and CTU interact automatically; 
no host software interaction is required. During a dismount, the 9740 software 
polls the CTU to determine if the transport needs to be cleaned. If it does, the 
hand removes a cleaning cartridge from its cell and inserts it into the transport. 

If the LSM has no cleaning cartridges, you are prompted to enter a cleaning 
cartridge into the CAP.
